It’s show #590 - On today’s show, we’re talking about… Tools we wish existed, shopping for a grinder, Why don’t you buy another super expensive, super specific tool??

Nathaniel Snell is the winner of the WoodRiver small shoulder plane. We had over 500 entrants and thank you for everyone who entered. The great new is Woodcraft likes the idea and there will be more of this to come.

• Marc is make cat collar tags with a laser and avoiding drywall.
• Shannon used his new WoodRiver shoulder plane and admits it might has a use in his shop despite years of hating on shoulder planes.
• Matt finishing clearing out after sawmilling just in time for more sawmilling.

• Jim visited Woodcraft while listening to the show and spent $1000 on stuff he doesn't need. Goooo Woodcraft!

We talk about the double edged sword of specialty tools: gimmick or useful?

• Simon had a tough medical procedure and is looking for advice on how to move forward with his woodworking with lack of grip strength.
• Tommaso asks what tool we want that doesn't currently exist on the market.
• John is shopping for a grinder as he is tired of resetting the bevel using stones and sandpaper.
• Gary asks Matt why he doesn't have a chipper for all the offcuts and waste from his saw mill.
